The Six Sentence Sunday Contest was cancelled. I got a tweet from the founders who said, “the contest is against the whole intent/purpose of #sixsunday.” I meant to draw more attention toward the event, but I don’t want to piss anyone off, so it’s off. Feel free to post your six sentences anyway. It’s still fun with or without a prize. 

Here is my six sentence entry from a deleted section of my current YA Paranormal Project:

One corner of his lip curled. “Is that what you think?”

I crossed my arms. “That’s what I know.”

He reached out, cupped my face, and furiously pressed his lips against mine. His hands slinked onto my neck and slowly down my back until they rested firmly above the top of my jeans. Fingers pressed into my spine with a desperation that surprised me, and I let out a gasp. He pulled back for a second, and stared into my eyes as if he searched for my approval.

Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war– and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED. Winner asked that their name not be listed.

THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED. Winner: Pam

Voting is open for the 2011 Bookie Awards. If you’re not sure who to vote for then you can always vote with me. I’d like to see Allison Pang win as Debut Author & Best Fantasy because her book, A Brush of Darkness was my favorite adult fantasy of 2011. I’m also voting for Lisa Kessler in the Demon Book of the Year category for her novel, Night Walker. BUT, if I can only sway you once I’d like to see Entangled Publishing take the Best Publisher category. Why? Because I’d like to see an e-publisher take it instead of the traditional publishers.

Let’s shake it up this year! VOTE HERE: http://t.co/IJtHdDR
